Gao Han found Zhongli Tingzhou on the city wall. He was looking far into the direction of the main disaster area with no expression on his face.

More than an hour had passed since the riot was reported, but they had not received any news and had no idea whether Mr. Zhongli was alive or dead.

"You said before that the earth will eventually be destroyed. Is it because of the existence of the main disaster area?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked.

Gao Han knew what he meant, "It's related to the main disaster area, but I'm not sure of the specific reason."

Is it because the war between humans and mutated creatures led to the destruction of the earth, or is it because there is something deep in the main disaster area? You know, the mutation in the main disaster area started on the seabed.

Up to now, perhaps the top government officials know what happened on the seabed, but they don’t know.

Gao Han could only speculate based on his own guesses.

As it stands, the possibility of humans going to war with mutant creatures is still very high.

"Once the Earth is destroyed, mutant creatures will have no space to survive. The mutant creature deep in the disaster area must have thought about it. What is its purpose? To allow its own species to crawl onto land and survive on land?"

"Although mutants will evolve into the same characteristics as land creatures, that takes time. It is impossible for them not to know this, unless something forces them to do so."

"Then what could this thing be? The mutant creature suddenly took back all the black crystal fragments. Is it related to the black crystal fragments?"

"Why did the top government officials suddenly send out top experts to raid the depths of the main disaster area? Did they discover something?"

Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou's rare seriousness and solemnity. As the sun rose, his profile was covered with a layer of serious golden color.

There was one thing he did overlook. The war between humans and mutant creatures was initiated. Now it seems that it was most likely the mutant creature in the deep. From its starting point, this decision is indeed worthy of deep thought and discussion.

Even if marine creatures do not evolve into land creatures, they still have the vast ocean. Why would they compete with humans for territory on land? This explanation does not make sense.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. Wait for the old man and the others to come back."

Even though Zhongli Tingzhou usually ignores his family, in his heart, he always values ​​his family very much, he just doesn't know how to express it. Gao Han knows this well.

"I plan to go and see it with my own eyes." Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly said.

Gao Han's face sank slightly, but he still didn't stop her. He could understand the pain. "Then I'll accompany you."

"No, you stay here. I won't come near and will be back soon." Zhongli Tingzhou rejected it outright.

Gao Han said calmly: "I didn't stop you, and you didn't stop me either."

Zhongli Tingzhou's handsome brows immediately frowned.

"Neither of you two, don't even think about going." Just then, Zhong Lihe came up. He didn't know how much he had heard, but it seemed that he could guess even if he didn't hear everything. He looked at the two of them and said, "I have received the news. The old man and the others are back."

The two looked at him without saying anything.

Zhong Lihe sighed, knowing that he could not hide it from these two cunning men. "But the situation is not very good. The old man escaped with serious injuries. He is now in the imperial capital, in City No. 1. It is my eldest brother who is guarding it."

"Why is he seriously injured?" Gao Han asked.

"It's not clear from the communicator. I haven't asked about the course of events yet. I'm going back to the capital now. Do you want to come with me?"

Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou. Zhongli Tingzhou looked deep into the disaster area and uttered a cold word, "Go."

After saying goodbye to General Shen, the three of them set off back.

The year has passed, and the streets of the imperial capital have returned to their bustling and congested state. The hustle and bustle has covered the bleakness. People's happy smiles, sad faces at work, etc., are all about struggling for life. However, they don't know that there may not be many days like this left.

Three long rainbows quickly crossed the sky of the imperial capital and landed in the military headquarters.

After the old man came back, he had been in the military headquarters. At this time, the military headquarters was like an iron barrel, full of people inside and outside, and the guards were extremely strict.

"Brother, how is Dad?" Seeing Zhongli Yunfeng standing outside the door, Zhongli He walked over immediately.

Zhongli Yunfeng glanced at them and sighed, "Mr. Ming and several other Shuimu Spirit Refiners are helping the old man and Senior Li from the Spirit Refiners Association with treatment."

"What's going on?" Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes radiated a cold light.

Zhongli Yunfeng had no intention of hiding it from them this time. He asked the others to stay and said to them, "Come with me."

Take them to a secret room.

"If you have any questions, just ask." Zhongli Yunfeng turned around.

"Why was Dad seriously injured?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked coldly.

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about right now.

"Let me start from the beginning," Zhongli Yunfeng said. "This is a plan to strangle someone. In fact, the government discovered something strange deep in the main disaster area a few months ago. It was also at that time that the black crystal fragments were stolen."

"The government has a strong team stationed deep in the main disaster area all year round. After noticing these anomalies, they sneaked in to investigate secretly and determined that the anomalies in the main disaster area are related to the mutant creature."

"According to our guess, the mutant creature is likely trying to use all the black crystal fragments to break through. If it breaks through, it will be a disaster for humanity."

"You have also felt that in the past few months, the movements of all mutant creatures in the main disaster area have become more and more frequent. This is a sign of an all-out war with humans."

"But the real threat comes from the mutant creature that is about to break through. Its current strength has reached the peak of level 15. We guess that if it breaks through again, for humans, it may be entering the real stage of cultivation, and for the mutant creature, it should be transformation."

Zhong Lihe asked, "You mean, the government plans to send Dad and the others to kill it before it transforms to prevent future troubles?"

Zhongli Yunfeng nodded, "That was originally the plan, but something unexpected happened along the way."

"What happened?"

"Dad was sent to treatment as soon as he came back, and I haven't asked yet. Senior Xiao and the others who came back with him are reporting to the higher-ups. They want to know the whole story. Unless we wait for him to explain clearly or for Dad to wake up, but..." Zhongli Yunfeng frowned deeply.

"But what?" everyone asked anxiously.

"But I see that Senior Xiao's face doesn't look good. I'm afraid something big has happened here." And it might be something that is not good for Dad. Zhongli Yunfeng was extremely worried.

"Second brother, how many top experts are there who participated in the raid this time?" Gao Han asked.

Zhongli Yunfeng said, "There are seven in total, one each from the Zhongli family, Sima family, Tang family, and Yuan family, and three from the government, military, and the Soul Refiners Association. No one died in this raid, but two were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured."

The Senior Xiao he mentioned is a government official.

"Will the Tang family and the Yuan family cause trouble again?"

Both of them are people with a history, so it’s no wonder they are suspicious.

"They wouldn't dare to do that, unless they don't want the descendants of the two families to have a stable environment."

Gao Han asked again: "Then why are the only people seriously injured this time the old man and the seniors of the Soul Refiners Association?"

Zhongli Yunfeng paced on the spot, "This is what I want to know, but..."

"But the government seems to be deliberately avoiding you." Gao Han took over the conversation neatly.

Zhongli Yunfeng looked at him in surprise.

"This only shows that the problem is likely to come from within."

"It's related to infighting again. Do they think it's Dad's fault? Don't they know how much Dad wants to pacify the main disaster area?" Zhong Lihe turned around the room several times in annoyance. "Otherwise, which family's top powerhouse would stay in a disaster area for decades and never leave!"

"Don't worry, third brother. This is just my guess." Gao Han comforted him.

Zhong Lihe sneered, "If it's just a guess, why would they avoid Second Brother? It's so obvious that they have something they don't want Second Brother to know!"

"For so many years, my Zhongli family has invested so much manpower and energy in the disaster area. The parasites like the Yuan and Tang families have never contributed anything. They only think about seizing power and exploiting people all day long. I have never seen them deal with them seriously. This time, if it weren't for Tingzhou's matter, they would have to continue to shrink and remain silent."

"When it comes to doing something that requires hard work, everyone shrinks back and dares not stick their heads out, but once there is something profitable, they stretch their hands out very quickly."

Zhongli Yunfeng waited for him to finish speaking before gently scolding him, "Just finish speaking, and don't talk nonsense outside."

Zhongli He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He was also very angry.

Gao Han looked at Zhongli Yunfeng who was relatively calm, and had some guesses in his mind.

Although the conversation between the government and Senior Xiao and others avoided Zhongli's house, they still found out what they needed to know.

But before that, several healing masters who treated the old man and Senior Li finally came out after three hours of hard work.

"Zhongli's injuries are very serious. He has only stabilized slightly now. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in a short period of time." Ming Haifeng told them the result.

As long as the old man was fine, all the Zhongli family members present breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about Senior Li?" everyone asked again.

Ming Haifeng was silent for a while, "His condition is more serious than Zhongli's. We can only do our best."

That is still not good.

"You guys go in and see Zhongli first. He has something to say to you." Ming Haifeng patted Zhongli Yunfeng on the shoulder and left with his men.

The old man only asked to see his family, and when Gao Han tried to go in, he was stopped.

"He is also from my Zhongli family." Zhongli Tingzhou's red eyes stared coldly at the person who stopped Gao Han, which seemed a little weird at this moment.

The other party didn't dare to stop him anymore.

By the time he saw Grandpa Zhongli, everyone else had been called out, and Senior Li from the Spirit Refiners Association had been moved to another room.

The old man was weak, but he looked in good spirits and didn't look like a seriously injured person.

"Dad, what's going on? After you came back, Senior Xiao and others were called over by them, and my second brother was excluded." Zhong Lihe was an impatient person and started yelling as soon as he entered the door.

The old man gestured to his second son, and Zhongli Yunfeng nodded slightly.

"I called you here to tell you this. This time the government asked us to raid the mutant because they suspected that it was about to break through, and they wanted us to destroy its plan, but..."

At this point, the old man's face became heavy.

“I found out it wasn’t that simple.”

The fact that the old man looked so solemn showed that the situation was much more serious than imagined.

"Could it be..." Zhongli Yunfeng's brows were grim.

The old man knew what his second son was thinking and shook his head gently. "It's not what you think. What I'm talking about is not simple. It's the mutant creature. All along, you have only heard about that mutant creature and have never seen it, right?"

"Dad, you're right. We have indeed never met before." Zhongli Yunfeng nodded.

Gao Han was a little surprised. Considering Zhongli Yunfeng's position in the military, it should be possible that he had not seen him before.

"Dad, did you find out there was something else going on after you went there? But that doesn't make sense. If there was something going on, you would have gone there to investigate before. How come you didn't find out?"

Zhongli He concluded this because the old man always told them all everything, except Tingzhou, because he often disappeared.

"So you talked a lot of nonsense." Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at him coldly.

Zhongli He was choked for a moment. Could it be that this little brother had the ability to read minds? He had just said this in his mind.

The atmosphere in the ward instantly eased due to the conversation between the two brothers.

As if Zhongli Yunfeng knew Gao Han's surprise, he explained softly, "Don't look at me as cold-hearted and usually not talking to people. I'm actually a treasure in our family who helps to adjust the atmosphere."

Gao Han agreed very much with the last sentence, but he felt that the first two sentences were still debatable.

This guy is a complete drama queen. He says one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. He is even more dramatic than a drama queen.
